摘要

Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) powered by machine learning (ML) are increasingly recognized as valuable tools for improving maternal healthcare, particularly in the prevention of high-risk pregnancies. However, their adoption in real-world settings remains limited due to concerns about transparency, reproducibility, and integration into clinical workflows. Interpretable ML methods offer a promising solution by enhancing the usability and trustworthiness of these systems. This scoping review maps interpretable CDSS for maternal high-risk pregnancy prevention and intrapartum management, including both ML and rule-based systems. We examined model characteristics, implementation and validation approaches, and interpretability methods. We searched PubMed and supplemented results with targeted screening in Google Scholar. Included studies reported interpretable outputs and clinical performance. Key data extracted encompassed study design, CDSS type, validation strategies, interpretability techniques, and clinical outcomes. Nineteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Most ML studies used Random Forests or Support Vector Machines. non-ML systems commonly implemented standardized rules, scoring systems with early-warning alerts. Post hoc methods such as SHAP and LIME were frequently used. Reporting of code/data availability was variably documented, which may limited reproducibility. Most evaluations were retrospective, constraining generalizability. Future work should prioritize transparent, prospective, and open science practices, with interpretable outputs aligned to clinical reasoning for successful integration.
